Multitudes of cops outside the streetcar. Sammy never approached as a threat ... with a swiss army knife.he's in the clink.

How is any of this legal?

two wrongs don't make a right. However in a crisis scene. I'd side on the police department. Sorry man. They're cool. They have a legal contract with the government to stop people from being thrown into these situations. Dude [FORCILLO]
fucked up, and now he's made an example up. For trying to protect everyone on that streetcar, and the spillage on the street.

IF you and your wife were on that street car you would be giving this guy a medal.

So in the end. The crime was he should have football tackled him in stead. I guess that's great in hindsight 20/20 vision. Everyone freaking the fuck out patrons, dude. This guy is trying to kill me. Citizens run.

Seems there are some selective memory issues at play here. There was absolutely ZERO justification for the use of deadly force in this situation. Yatim - although armed with a small knife - was trapped, alone on the streetcar. He did not advance or attempt to exit the vehicle. He was out-flanked and out-gunned. There are several ways that this situation could have been resolved without the use of deadly force. Forcillo is either a pussy or a cowboy (likely both). Bottom line, he tossed away the very basics of crisis intervention and chose the “guns blazing” route. Bitch can and will get what he deserves if he ever sets foot in GP. ...and the next Blue gangster that finds him/herself in a similar situation would do well to take note.

I’m thankful that the courts - who uphold the basic tenets of equality before and under our law - got it close to right in this case.

It’s impossible to engage in reasonable discourse with someone who’s ignorance of codified law and police protocol are only eclipsed by their willingness to spout utter, indefensible nonsense in the guise of opinion.
